TVXQ! Yunhao Changmin first talked about middle-class members: all three people have changed
Zhongxin. com, November 3 rd "Everything has changed since three people started to engage in cosmetics business." U-Know Yunhao (whose real name is Jung Yunho) and the strongest Changmin (whose real name is Shen Changmin), members of the popular Korean group "TVXQ!", expressed their position for the first time to the other three members who had exclusive contract disputes with the brokerage company SM Entertainment. According to Chosun Ilbo, SM Entertainment held a press conference on November 2nd at Building 63, Yeouido, Seoul, about the court's partial acceptance of three members' claims. U-Know Yunhao and Changmin, the strongest, have published the documents signed by them here. Yun Hao and Chang Min argued in this document: "After three members put forward the so-called temporary processing application, we were constantly asked why this happened. In a word, it seems that everything has changed after three people started to engage in cosmetics business. " The two said: "The cosmetics company and the brokerage company have privately recruited members for the convenience of operation, and the method is extremely simple, which will inevitably lead to problems, so we have not participated in this project." The two also said: "We have no idea what kind of promises that cosmetics company made to three people, what they said and how much money they earned. However, in the past five years, we have worked together for the same dream, and we have today's TVXQ!. Now it is really unacceptable to disband because we are doing this cosmetic business with this informal cosmetic company. " Previously, the heroes of the group in China and West Asia, Junxiu and Miqi, filed a temporary lawsuit against the brokerage company in July this year, demanding that the exclusive contract be lifted. In this regard, the court ruled that the exclusive contract was partially invalid and demanded that "three members should be guaranteed separate performing arts activities". On the other hand, Jin Yongmin, the representative of SM Entertainment, clearly stated: "Because of the temporary decision, three members can carry out personal activities, but the activities as members of TVXQ! must be carried out through our company." Young-min Kim also issued an ultimatum: "It is planned to restart TVXQ!'s activities in China next spring. In order to prepare, three members were asked to respond to this before 12 days after 1 days. " ?
Jung Yunho Shen Changmin issued a statement supporting SM? Said that he would obey the company's arrangement
Sohu New Korea Line News? On the afternoon of November 2nd, Beijing time, according to South Korean media reports, the dispute between three TVXQ! members, including Kim Jae Jung, and SM Company came to an end with the temporary judgment of the court, and two other TVXQ! members, Shen Changmin and Jung Yunho, issued a statement, indicating that they would fully support SM Company. At the press conference held by SM Company on the afternoon of November 2nd, Shen Changmin and Jung Yunho respectively issued statements, indicating their support for SM Company. Jung Yunho and Shen Changmin said that they never thought of leaving SM Company, and said that TVXQ! was a combination built and cultivated by SM Company. No other company can know TVXQ! better than SM Company. The efforts and efforts of SM Company have made TVXQ! achieve today's achievements, and they believe that Kim Jae Jung and others are well aware of this. Morally speaking, they have never considered leaving SM Company, and will actively participate in the activities of TVXQ! Group prepared by the company. Jung Yunho and Shen Changmin also said that the activities in TVXQ! next spring will take at least six months to prepare, so if Kim Jae Jung and others sincerely hope that TVXQ! can continue their activities, they should respond to SM's invitation as soon as possible. At today's press conference, SM Company made it clear for the first time that Kim Jae Jung and other three people have the right to individual performing arts activities, but said that TVXQ!'s group activities, Kim Jae Jung and other three people still have to obey the arrangement of SM Company. In the future, legal measures will be taken to recover all the losses suffered by SM Company due to this lawsuit.
exclusive: SM company publishes official documents? Clarify the inside story of TVXQ!'s termination /29113/n26793835. 1)? In the application for temporary punishment on the contract period, three members claimed that the exclusive contract period was too long. However, I believe they can't deny the fact that members and their parents have been asking for and cooperating with the renewal of the contract on the premise of entering overseas markets, achieving success and development. As we all know, our company started to enter overseas markets from H.O.T, and was actively exploring overseas markets by the stage of S.E.S At the initial stage of S.E.S' s entry into Japan, Japanese brokerage companies at that time generally demanded that the contract period be set at 5 to 7 years, which was also a measure taken to ensure that the investment would not be lost during the contract period, and it was also the basic mode of cooperation with Japanese companies. Since then, when planning for Bao Er's March into Japan, in order to improve the investment efficiency and consider the contract period with local brokerage companies, we signed a 1-year contract with Bao Er. It was after signing a contract with AVEX, Japan's largest brokerage company, that Bao Er successfully reached the top of Japan's mainstream music market for eight years and achieved unprecedented brilliant results. During the initial planning period, TVXQ! planned to build it into a top artist in Korean, Japanese, China and even the whole Asian market. The five members, together with their parents, agreed with this lofty ideal and development prospect, which only added three years to the original 1-year contract and updated the contract. When signing the updated contract, the members and their parents fully considered TVXQ!'s future development plans and goals-to become a top-notch combination in all aspects, to obtain long-term support from the company, to explore overseas markets, to obtain continuous and stable investment guarantee and other factors, and readily agreed to sign the updated contract. The parents of all five members were indeed present, and they fully discussed the above contents and agreed before signing. Therefore, our company has invested a huge investment of more than 4 billion yuan in order to successfully enter the Japanese market for TVXQ!, and now, five years later, it has gradually begun to get a real return in the Japanese market. If we don't consider these factual backgrounds, and don't understand the same values and goals reached by our company and members during the signing process, it is inappropriate to just focus on the figure of 13 years and draw the conclusion that the contract content is inappropriate. 2)? About the damage compensation clause, three members argued that the amount involved in the damage compensation clause was too much, which was unreasonable. As for the damages clause, it was judged and implemented by the Fair Trade Commission and the High Court as early as July 22. After the clause system section of the Fair Trade Commission was upgraded to the sub-committee in 27, the starting point of the contract and the damages clause were revised accordingly according to the municipal advice. In April 28, through consultation with the clause system section and service competition section of the Fair Trade Commission, other contract clauses were also comprehensively revised, which was finally completed. To sum up, through consultation with the Fair Trade Commission, our company has made several amendments to the contract terms including the damages clause, and the contents of TVXQ!'s contract have also reflected these amendments, and have also been revised and improved several times. 3)? Regarding unfair treatment, three members advocated that the company should give them unfair treatment, but in fact they just kept repeating that the company distributed their interests unevenly and transparently, and could not give other examples of unfair treatment. All along, when the three members mentioned it to the media, they all reflected that our company seemed to be cheating by deliberately concealing sales, but anyone with common sense would think that our company, as a listed company in KOSDAQ, South Korea, could not conceal sales and cheat. Therefore, this fact can be proved again in the information published by the court. In modern society, rampant illegal downloading behavior has led to the increasingly depressed music record market, and the deficit continues to appear. In such a harsh business environment, our company still paid 11 billion yuan in cash income distribution for TVXQ!. When we signed the change contract in February 29, the proportion of income distribution was greatly increased, and it was decided that this standard should be applied to the sales distribution after the release of the fourth album "Mirotic" in the second half of 28 to protect the interests of each member. In other words, there is no objective fact of unfair treatment. On the contrary, our company has invested a lot of money in TVXQ! and given it the highest treatment.
4.? In the future, the three members can carry out individual activities for the planning of TVXQ! through the judgment of this temporary punishment, but the activities in the name of TVXQ! can only be carried out through our company. Our company is expected to launch the plan of TVXQ!'s return to Korean music next spring. In order to prepare this plan, our company requires three members to reply to it before November 12 after the 1th. For details, please contact our broker who is still in charge of brokerage activities in TVXQ!.
5.? Countermeasures for the improvement of our company in the future In 22, 27 and 28, according to the corrective measures and advice of the Fair Trade Commission, our company made corresponding amendments to the exclusive contract contents including the provisions on damages and the contract period. If the contract revised three times is called "human rights violation", "slave contract" and "anti-social contract", it will lose some validity not in the ruling of this case, but because of the application for temporary punishment, then through the investment of an enterprise, the hard-earned foundation of performing arts and the whole Korean Wave effect will be destroyed instantly. As far as the universal values of society are concerned, if the law recognizes this success and satisfies "extreme selfish desires" and "treachery" under the banner of "human rights violations", it will destroy the values of the whole society and lead to unimaginable consequences. Our company successfully opened up the Japanese market for TVXQ!. In the following five years, the accumulated business losses exceeded 7 billion yuan, but we still made unremitting investment and training for TVXQ!. Now we have finally pushed them to the top of the Japanese entertainment circle and achieved unprecedented brilliant results. However, our company was misunderstood by everyone under the reports of "human rights violations" and "slave contracts". I would like to ask, if this selfish desire can be satisfied, can the rights and reputation of enterprises and the interests of investors be ignored? In principle, the principles of freedom of contract and honesty and trustworthiness should also be guaranteed after investment and great success. The exclusive contract of our company is based on the understanding and efforts of the Fair Trade Commission industry and the basic situation of our company for several years, and it is also signed when the artist is present with his parents or guardians at the free will. It is based on the valuable experience gained from the process of building Korean culture with * * *, and it is finally completed in order to invest and enter overseas markets on a larger scale. Although it is a temporary punishment, if the content of such a contract is not affirmed in a certain part, and if the most fundamental contractual relationship observed under the principle of mutual trust is not affirmed, how can any cultural enterprise survive? If the contract signed with the consent and free will of the parties is completely denied after the success of the parties, then the whole entertainment industry will be paralyzed. A contract should be freely made and signed according to the principle of freedom of contract. However, if each relevant department has its own different interpretation and draws different conclusions according to different understanding of the law, then there will be a phenomenon that someone tries to get rid of the contract content for any reason and excuse after becoming famous. Living in the international cultural market with fierce competition among countries, the Korean cultural industry, which originally needed huge investment, is about to lose a large number of investors and funds. In our company's view, we should formulate a contract standard, so that both parties who sign the contract can obtain legal protection according to this standard from the beginning to the end of the contract. If the contract can't be made according to this standard, the chaos of the entertainment industry will continue. In this regard, our company is worried that the cultural industry and the Korean Wave phenomenon of the whole country will disappear and be destroyed. As a leading enterprise in the entertainment industry, SM Company has an obligation to protect the reputation and interests of the artists who are full of trust and love and have worked hard to expand the broader development prospects and form the Korean culture, as well as the other two members of TVXQ!. In order to prevent the public from mistakenly thinking that they are in the same position as the three members who applied for temporary punishment, and to avoid such differences due to exclusive contracts in the future, resulting in the reputation of the company and artists being damaged again, and to avoid other problems, we propose the following constructive scheme. Our company believes that the performing arts industry, including our company, and relevant government departments, such as the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Fair Trade Commission, the academic circles, the National Assembly and other legislative bodies can * * * negotiate with each other, legislate to formulate brand-new exclusive contract standards, or formulate contract standards certified by notaries and having legal effect. Our company will actively participate in this activity. After these new exclusive contract standards pass the real legislation, our company will strictly follow this content and re-formulate the contracts of all artists. We will train more top artists who will surpass Asia and go to the world stage, and do our best to promote the smooth development of Korean cultural industry, add value to South Korea's economy and enhance its national image through Korean Wave culture.

Will the name of "TVXQ!" disappear? Contract disputes will be left for future troubles
Zhongxin. com, November 4 th. SM Entertainment Company of South Korea applied for the registration of the trademark right of "TVXQ!" after a legal conflict with TVXQ! members. However, according to previous cases, the right of name belongs to the members rather than the company, so it is still unknown whether the trademark right will be given to SM. In fact, the three TVXQ! members involved in the contract dispute case will not be able to use the name "TVXQ!" in the trio of Chinese, Secret, Wonderful and Fine. Therefore, some people in the entertainment industry pointed out that the name "TVXQ!" is likely to disappear in the depths of history. South Korea's "Central Daily News" news, in the case of deep contradictions among members, for TVXQ! members who have the priority to use the title of "TVXQ!", if any of the two groups (Hero in China, Secret Wonder One Day, Xiya Junxiu 3, Yu Lu Yunhao, and the strongest Changmin 2) raises objections, both sides will not be able to use it. The trio (the hero is in China, the secret is strange, and the elegance is handsome) that has had conflicts with the company has always adhered to the position that "TVXQ! will not disintegrate, but five people will work together". But at present, it seems that the persistent contradiction between the two sides will not be easily resolved. ?
Sohu xinhan online news? Yesterday, SM Company held a press conference. TVXQ! members Jung Yunho and Shen Changmin both expressed their support for SM Company. Jung Yunho's father Zheng Yangxian also issued a confirmation letter, detailing the "cosmetic incident" and said that "in fact, the losses suffered by the two members who did not file a lawsuit were the biggest".
